Een toekomst met vrijheid en gelijkheid

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

Het thema waarover ik het wil hebben voor het jaar 2040 is vrijheid en gelijke kansen. In 2040 zou Europa in alle veiligheid alle inwoners vrijheid en gelijke kansen moeten garanderen en dat op alle vlakken: qua gender, onderwijs, mobiliteit, toegang tot medische zorgen, ondersteuning door de overheid, godsdienst, beroepen, lichamelijke beperkingen, ... Het kan geen absolute vrijheid zijn, omdat alles in respect moet gaan tot de medemens, maar de kansen moeten voor iedereen gelijk zijn. Dat betekent dat de overheid een vorm van overleg moet creëren die de democratie benadert, maar niet noodzakelijk exact hetzelfde moet zijn ? Er kunnen vormen of varianten van democratie bedacht worden die de inconveniënten bijschaaft en elimineert, zoals blokkagemechanismen door kleine minderheden of door superrijken, versnippering van het politieke landschap waardoor landsbestuur te lang verlamd wordt en zo meer. Gelijkheid betekent niet dat iedereen hetzelfde moet hebben of krijgen, mar dat er betere evenwichten gevonden worden met inbegrip van het indammen van profitariaat. Gelijkheid betekent ook dat er nagedacht moet worden dat extreem (en dus ongelijk en onvrij) gedachtengoed polariseert en juist een rem zet op vrijheid en gelijkheid. Op die manier kunnen we anomalieën en onrechtvaardigheden in de samenleving wegwerken en een betere balans vinden om werkelijk met iedereen overweg te kunnen, ongeacht meningsverschillen of opvattingen.

Ma maison du futur
Always very connected. A detached house that stands on its own. Photovoltaic panels, water recycling. Warm in winter and cool in summer. Naturally, I have a greenhouse so I can eat the fruit and vegetables I grow myself. There will also be cameras for my security. I'd really like to see other forms of propulsion for my vehicle developed, with solar panels to recharge my car.

Czy to bajka, czy nie bajka?
A better future... We drive electric cars, and electricity for them is provided by wind and nuclear power plants. Unsustainable plastic has replaced glass, garbage incinerators with efficient filters have finally made waste pits unnecessary. The air in Polish cities is breathable even in winter, and in summer we are not afraid of drought and lack of water. And instead of armaments, we spend money on health care and equalizing opportunities for children and young people. All this may be, however, I will put it between fairy tales....

Den gröna framtiden
I would like to see a future where a major change has been made for the benefit of the environment and the future of the planet. Solar, wind and hydro power have replaced fossil fuels. Buildings, houses, etc. are equipped to be self-sufficient both in terms of energy and basic commodities such as potatoes and the like. Public transportation has switched completely to electric vehicles and there are incredible high-speed trains that can compete with flights between major cities.

When I wake up, the machines prepare the breakfast I usually have (coffee, toast and a piece of fruit). My clothes are ready and are automatically put on me. I take public transport, which flies fast and allows me to get to work quickly. It's not very sustainable, but it's practical. Cycling has become an activity that's losing ground because it's not as fast. Society is going faster and faster. Everything is computerized and doesn't allow for much social interaction, and that's the problem. As for family life, it's still all together in the same house, but that doesn't really make it feel like a family, as everyone is more isolated in front of an electrical device that occupies their free time.
